.NET
DESK OneAgent instruments your .NET applications by placing trace statements at strategic locations in your code for code tracing, performance metrics, error detection, dependency tracking, and more.
Not every detected .NET application is instrumented by default. DESK maintains a set of rules to instrument specific processes (for example, IIS application-pools, which you can extend with our own rules).
Capabilities
DESK provides extensive .NET monitoring capabilities:
- End-to-end transaction tracing for web requests services, web services, remoting services, queues, and databases. Learn more about services.
- Garbage collection, process metrics, and much more.
- Always-on 24x7 production grade CPU profiling.
- OneAgent SDK for custom tracing.
See our supported technologies matrix for details on supported frameworks.
